ABOUT US
The story of Maresca’s
In 2021, two coffee lovers with a sweet tooth decided to look into turning their passions into a business. At the time, Tasia was training to become a pastry chef, and both had prior experience as baristas. Together, they had a wild idea: start a coffee and pastry food trailer to share their love of sweet treats with Charlottesville.
Tasia has been baking pastries since she was young, and her first job was as a barista, which is where she fell in love with the coffee process. We believe in sharing joy with our community, and that is a huge part of our mission. We are thrilled to share pastries, coffee and smiles with our local community. See you at the counter!
We believe in creating an experience.
We believe everyone who stops by our coffee trailer should leave feeling better than they came, with a delicious coffee, a pastry in-hand, and a smile from their conversation.
We believe in living out our values.
We want to take care of our planet by making tangible choices as a small business. We believe in doing our part to reduce our footprint - which is why every iced cup we serve our delicious coffee in is recyclable, and every hot cup commercially compostable.
We believe in local businesses.
We partner with as many organizations and businesses in Cville as we can, because we are all part of one shared community. The pie (or pastry) is big enough for all of us.
We roast our coffee locally with our friends at Farm Bell Kitchen (and you might even find our pastries there!), and work alongside our friends in countless other food trucks and caterers around town. Come say hi!
